What Summit Journeys Inc does
Mission
Summit Journeys leads transformational adventure experiences to build character and improve well-being in youth and young adults.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2025 our Summit Journeys team was very busy leading 102 adventure trips, running 9 sessions of summer camps, and making a positive impact on 1,750 youth, many of which come from disadvantaged backgrounds.We continued to strengthen and expand our partner organizations and added 15 new partner organizations this year including the University of Utah, and Utah Valley University. We built a custom program with Utah Valley University to strengthen the resilience in first year business school students that contributed to lowering the dropout rate.We also expanded our operating footprint and began running some adventure trips and camps with youth in the southern Utah area.This year we also partnered with the State of Utah Office of Outdoor Education to lead a special summer camp program for refugee youth who have been in the USA for less than one year. The program helps them establish new friendships while also having fun learning new skills like kayaking, paddle boarding, and sailing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $63k to $74k (+18%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
50% of Summit Journeys Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $80k → $10k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 63% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Summit Journeys Inc's grant income comes from Utah funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $40k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
